I'm a new PZ player, got about 6 hours under my belt now. I saw a couple of YouTube videos, I played the tutorial, felt comfortable enough to dive in feet first with not but my common sense as a guide.
Died in 7 minutes...
Would've been a good idea to actually loot my own home before walking out the front door! Second time round I looted up what I could. Feeling confident once more, and armed with a Frying pan and some baked beans, I ventured out again. Freaked out at my first zombie sighting, went to run, slipped on my keyboard and hit Q instead of W.
Dead in 13 minutes (We're getting better!)
My current playthrough has hours under it's belt and I'm surviving fairly well (Albeit the occassional howler monkey impression at jumpscares), but my BIGGEST lesson so far is that the PZ community (on Twitch for me) are the best and most amazing support group, guides, and mentors to help you survive when you know basically nothing. If I could recommend a great way for new players to learn the game it would be to go and Livestream, say you're new to the game, and the PZ community will hand hold you through the darkest nights and teach you everything you need to know about, well, everything.
Amazing guys the lot of ya. The game's great. The community is even better.
